The post holder will contribute to the general workload of the department whilst developing or providing a sub-specialist interest that complements existing expertise within the department such a paediatrics, breast or sub-specialist cross-sectional imaging. We will also consider purely specialised roles.

Elective reporting is carried out via an allocated worklist with the number and type of studies depending on the length of the reporting session and area of expertise. The ideal candidate will have a broad range of abilities across CT/MRI/ultrasound and the job plan will be varied and will aim to encompass the individual's complete skill set.

MDT involvement will be encouraged according to departmental need and area of interest, and time will be provided for MDT preparation.
